Ninja 250R Lowside on Nice Looking German Road

I took these screenshots. In the second picture you see his front wheel touch this black stuff in the road and then turn in.

His elbows look raised up, so are probably stiff. I'm guessing he had a strong grip on the bars. I think a more relaxed upper body and looser grip could have helped.

He looks like he's nicely vertically in line with his bike, but he's not taken it a step further and hung off the side to give him a more upright bike and more traction. Could that have helped?

As far as I can tell, the best thing he could have done would have been to tighten up the corner, steering around that black stuff in the road.

After the crash you can hear a skid and then "Nein! Nein! Nein! Nein!", so I guess the rider who was following (hitler?) target fixated and crashed off camera.

Tar snakes suck when wet.

Previous rider made it, even with less "street oriented" tires and moving faster.

Evidently, that tar snake has taken more than one rider down when wet.
What other reason would it be for the cameraman to wait exactly there?

Nice sequence, Akima !!!

Is that a tar snake or a patch of rubber where someone else skidded? Just looking at that "flick" at the end and doesn't look tar snakish.

Sucks for both riders but looked and sounded like they might be ok even if their bikes weren't.

And that is a very nice looking road, I wanna go!

I see 2 black marks in the last pic. The first one looks very much like a tar snake to me, the second looks like a skid mark. Hard to tell from the blurry pic.
